How did you cut the scallop layer? I haven't been able to make a scalloped edge look like that. Thank you for your help! - Kim

I cut my scallop paper with the Cricut and a cartridge that contains the scallop image - Storybook is one. You can also use deco scissors, corner punches with the guard removed, border punches, or scallop blades for trimmers. HTH

How do you get the dots on all your cards? They are always so neat and uniform.

I listed all my supplies in the gallery.

The scallop rectangle is cut with Rectangle Nestabilities Dies.
The scallop border on the bottom is punched with Scallop Edge border punch from Stampin' Up!
The scallop circle is punched with the Scallop Circle punch from Stampin' Up!

The round sponges can be bought from Stampin' Up! You get three for $3.50.

Wonderful tutorial! I found a great sponge at Lowe's...it's called a grout sponge (in the tile dept). Looks just like the one in the tutorial only rectangular. Used an electric kitchen knife and cut it into 12 pieces. The sponge sold for $2.

I work in a kindergarten classroom and we were trying to make "wanted" posters for a Texas public schools week display. We couldn't burn the edges of the paper for obvious reasons so we tore them and used SU Chocolate Chip ink and the sponge shown to get the same effect. They turned out amazing!

I've bought those sponges from Michaels. They are located in the Art section by the brushes and palettes.
